As a natural born planner I love to know what is going on each month. As a registered dietitian and writer, creating content that is relevant to the season and my audience is essential.

However, sometimes I need a little inspiration for topic ideas.

That is where my Nutrition, Health, and Wellness Observation and Awareness Month Cheat Sheetcomes in handy.

As a one page (beautifully designed if I do say so myself!) resource, you can print out and hang in your office space and when it comes time to creating content, just reference your cheat sheet and get inspired!

The ICD-10 codes are very different from the ICD-9 codes. There are many more codes because each diagnosis has numerous “modifiers”, also referred to as additional digits, to differentiate the nuances in each condition. For example, the code E10.__ has been defined as Type 1 diabetes mellitus, but we now have a list of 10 modifiers to further identify the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. E10.2, for example, is the diagnosis for “Type 1 diabetes mellitus with kidney complications”.
This super-bill will list the diagnoses most likely to have nutrition implications, with a blank after the dot for the clinician to fill in the modifiers and in some cases a blank after the code to write in the specific diagnosis. Due to the sheer number of ICD-10 codes, it is not possible to fit them all on one page. Note it is not within the scope of practice for a registered dietitian/nutritionist (RDN) to make a medical diagnosis. The one exception is the BMI codes, as “they represent a mathematical calculation based on measurements that are within the RDNs scope of practice to perform.” (1) RDNs should obtain the additional digits from the physician/physician assistance office to accurately complete the super-bill.
We have provided you with each basic diagnosis code on the super-bill. Please refer to this list, provided by The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, for additional information on the additional digits: http://www.eatrightpro.org/~/media/eatrightpro%20files/practice/getting%20paid/icd-10-cm-codes-for-rdns.ashx
Remember, though, to consult with the referring physician’s office to obtain the additional digits. In addition, we have provided a link below to the full list of ICD-10 in the event that your desired code is not on our super-bill. (2)
Happy Coding!
